Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1631055A2] An imaging apparatus is disclosed which can increase recording resolution while reducing data amount handled during compression processing. The imaging apparatus includes a first imaging unit capturing an image of a subject and outputting a frame in first resolution in first time intervals, a second imaging unit capturing the image of the subject and outputting a frame in second resolution higher than the first resolution in second time intervals longer than the first time intervals, a detecting unit detecting motion vectors between the adjacent frames outputted from the first imaging unit and outputting the motion vectors as vector distribution information in the first resolution, a converting unit converting the vector distribution the in the first resolution into vector distribution information in the second resolution, and a recording unit recording on a storage media the vector distribution information in the second resolution and the frames outputted from the second imaging unit.
